I remember it took forevvvver for them to finally get around to reading the actual verdict.. we were listening to it on the radio at work and I stayed late to hear it. I am not a stay-at-work late kind of person.

Yes the morning after which was a Monday. I remember watching the white Broncos chase Friday night during the 6th game if the Knicks-Houston NBA final most of the important parts of the trial. And being shocked when the acquittal happened. Almost as shocked as I was when Casey Anthony got off for killing her daughter.

Yes to all. Glad he is incarcerated now, damn fool. He's hurt not only the Brown and Goldman family, but destroyed the lives of his children as well. He doesn't care. F*ck him. Although I'm pretty sure someone has already done that in prison.

I don't remember where I was when I heard about the murder. But when he was found "not guilty," I was in a glass bottom boat off of Catalina, listening to the verdict on my Walkman and swearing like a sailor when I heard it.

I was in Mexico on vacation and they showed the Chase on the swim up bar TV. For the Verdict I was traveling in North Carolina on 77 when they announced the verdict...people at the rest stop were PISSED!

I remember the slowest police chase of all time and wondering if he actually that he'd get away. The only one slower was a few years later when Michael Jackson was on his tricycle.

Other than that I remember the 1992 riots more than the OJ case. People get murdered every day and I just didn't get why all the news media thought I should care about these people.

(Obligatory) : They said it was for the black manThey said it was for the MexicanAnd not for the white manBut if you look at the streets, it wasn't about Rodney KingIt's this fucked-up situation and these fucked-up policeIt's about coming up and stayin on topAnd screamin' 1-8-7 on a mother fucking cop

That wasn't the only travesty in June 2008, Don't Mess with the Zohan was released.I ignored it as much as possible once it became about"issues " but I was chilliein a bar with a frosty pint of Killians and my gold tequila sipper...Let's just say I wasn't surprised :-\

I was at a bar watching the game when the chase happened. It was surreal to say the least. That's when we knew that he'd done it. When the verdict came in, I was working in a call center for an airline so there were about 200 people in the same room. More than half of them cheered for joy at the verdict. I don't know what disgusted me more, him getting away with those horrific murders or the people who celebrated it.

I missed the bronco chase because my best friend and I were watching A Clockwork Orange that night. Missed the whole damn thing. I'm still bummed about it.

As for the verdict, I was inside a hospital waiting room for a Dr.'s appt. A crowd was gathered around the TV. Nurses, Dr.'s, patients, everybody. When the verdict was announced I heard this attractive female Dr. who resembled Halle Berry comment "But he's guilty as sin," while walking away.

The only thing I remember about the OJ verdict is one of my middle school friends laughed about it and when the teacher asked why he said "I'm black and I know he did it!" But he still claimed it was a victory for racism and I was mostly confused.

Watched the verdict at work and the one happy person is now my SIL. We argued the points of the case, but neither of us ever changed our opinions. I watched the special last night and I had forgotten how much evidence there was against him. What a travesty.

I remember the car "chase". Worked late, so I ate a bowl of cereal as I flipped channels and came across that scene. Stretched out on the couch and watched the whole thing. Don't remember where I was for the verdict. Just remember being shocked.

I remember that damn chase. Goes to show you CNN has been pretty crap for a while. :P

Brush with smarminess: I briefly met OJ at a Bills thing when I was working in Buffalo (before this all went down, obviously). Somewhere I have an autograph. Might have been earlier that same year, but I'm not sure.

I was out to dinner at a place called the Cabin when news broke OJ was on the run. They turned every TV to OJ driving down the highway in his white bronco. Everybody just stopped and watched in shock. I don't remember where I was when the verdict was read. I was only 14 at the time.

I was in 5th, too! The teacher stopped class and turned on the tv so she could see it. We had been following it from time to time, so we all booed at the television when the not guilty verdict was read. I felt especially "in the know" because I religiously read my grandma's National Enquirer and Star mags every week.

I was a sophomore in HS when the verdict was announced in World History class. My teacher cried and told us that the justice system was broken. Most of my classmates ignored him and went on to chant "The Juice is Loose!" all day long.

I remember it so well i was outside watering plants on mt brick patio, thinking, she will never have this earthly pleasure again. Them, before all eyes turned to oj, i happened to hear Dick Cavet on the radio from ca, which was weird because then i was in new york, and he was saying it was very well known he wld go over her house and slash her car tires, so he must have just been so mad he skashed her too. And I realized; we dont know these people at all, all we gave is our perception of them. I never forgot that. The rest of it, the trial and all was just ridiculous, i was so glad when it ended but certainly not the way it ended.

I was at a bar watching the bronco chase and I was at work when they announced the verdict. I remember the black women from accounting jumping up and down screaming in joy and the rest of us looking at each other in horror.

I was in 7th grade, guess that makes me the oldest? Lol Mrs, Moore's social studies class. They brought in the big TV on the cart so we could watch it. Complete shock and awe (to this day) that he wasn't found guilty.

The day of the car chase, I was flying home (Sacramento) from a 7 day mexican cruise. When we got off the plane and walked into the Terminal, everyone was just staring at the TVs. At first I thought they were checking flight info, but then noticed the "breaking news" thing on the screens. The day of the verdict, I was working as a bank teller for Bank of America in a REALLY, REALLY bad part of town. I remember when they were getting ready to read the verdict, we all closed our teller windows and ran into the break room real quick to watch it.

I was at art school. Mixed group huddled into the tiny smoking room (only place with a tv on campus) when the verdict was read, happy or disappointed you could hear a pin drop. We then just all quietly filed out of the little room.

I actually do remember where I was when I heard the first report of the murders. In the car at night listening to WABC and heard the news report. I thought OJ was still married to his first wife so I thought she was the murder victim. I didn't know he had divorced her and remarried.

I was on a flight from Salt Lake City to Atlanta when the verdict was read. A flight attendant had told me earlier that they were getting news from the ground. About half way through, I walked up to the flight attendants' station and they all looked sick and I knew. I thought I had come to terms with the inevitable verdict, but it was still sickening. My parents were waiting for me as I got off the plane and they looked really strange and hurried us out of the airport. Then they told me that a lot of workers at the airport were watching TVs in the terminal and stared cheering and screaming when the verdict was read.

I remember watching so much of the trial live on TV. That was in the Court TV days and you could watch every second live. When Christopher Darden asked OJ to put on the gloves, I screamed at the TV, "What are you doing?!?!" Anyone can make it seem like gloves won't go on easily by just flexing their fingers a little. The look on Marcia Clark's face was a terrible, sad thing that day. She knew they had lost.

Agree Frazzled - I still can't believe the reaction after he 'struggled' to put them on and the ensuing 'if the gloves don't fit you must acquit' bullshit. Bad move by Darden but amazed that a lot of people bought into the charade that they didn't fit him. Clearly they did.

I was at Dr waiting to have blood drawn when Casey verdict was read. A whole room of people waiting to have blood drawn. It was not pretty. Erry body wanted to draw someone's blood for her getting off.

This also marked the beginning of hard copy and entertainment tonight in our home town. We grew up in such a small town I had never seen ET before. But once the OJ murder happened entertainment television was in such high demand for murder details and photos hard copy was the biggest show in our town. After that we got E!

The most memorable moment was the verdict. Watch Robert Kardashian's face. He KNOWS that his friend has literally gotten away with murder. Before he passed, he told an interviewer that ultimately he doubted OJ's innocence. The other moment I'll always remember was when OJ failed to turn himself in (pre-Bronco chase), and the LAPD fellow stated, very directly: "Mr. Simpson is a fugitive from justice." *That* was so simple, yet so stark.

Oh my goodness. I was working at a relatively new job, a college bookstore--it was a very diverse business with all kinds of people--that I didn't know very well.I had followed the trial religiously and we all gathered in the head of the store's office to watch on TV, and I was absolutely shocked when the verdict was given--and I assumed others would be--and then the office secretary---a little old white lady went off on how happy she was he was found not guilty and how she thought all the evidence was faked.I had to use my hand to close my jaw after it dropped on the floor--and then I was afraid to comment on my own opinion because I didn't realize there were people who didn't see things the way I saw them.

I was working at a car dealership in SoCal that was right off the 5 freeway. We turned on all the TV’s and just sat down and watched. Customers who came in sat and watched too. No work was done. :) A coworker had gone to high school w/ Nicole & another had Denise Brown as a neighbor. Crazy times for sure.

I, like most people, LOVED OJ Simpson and-at first-didn't at all believe The Juice was capable of murder. Then the trial happened, and it was so painfully obvious that the guy was a piece of shit, wife abusing, murderer, an entitled celebrity who KNEW he would get away with it. And he did. Awful. It was awful, and I feel terrible for his kids and the rest of the families involved.

The chase really was unreal, and hard to convey to people who didn't see it and can't remember OJ from a time before. Imagine a huge charismatic sports star from 20 years ago now past his prime -- Michael Jordan? Troy Aikeman -- leading police on slow-speed chase, with someone famous with him in the Bronco, people watching thinking he's about to commit suicide, and yes, that this is evidence he murdered his wife and a young waiter.

I remember driving past OJ's house a couple of days after the murders. Everyone in the neighborhood was freaked out and afraid that it was a Manson thing all over again. OJ had been questioned by then but hadn't been charged. Rumors were starting to go around about OJ's alibi not being as solid as it seemed but nobody wanted to believe it was him, people liked OJ. There were ribbons and flowers left at the gate and on the hedges in sympathy. There was only a handful of press and no police but that soon changed.

I watched the Bronco chase at home. I couldn't understand the people on the overpasses and by the roadside cheering for OJ Simpson the suspected murderer. I watched the verdict at home too and that was the worst. I was on the phone with my husband. He's a lawyer and he expected a hung jury. I expected a guilty verdict and I was shocked. I remember yelling "Oh NO. Oh my god." and my husband calming me down.

The only one who came out of that entire mess with his dignity and reputation intact was Howard Weitzman. He was OJ's first attorney and he bowed out of the case right away. Robert Kardashian took Weitzman's place at first, before Shapiro was hired. Kardashian removed evidence from the Rockingham house and sat with OJ every day of the trial. That's what I think of whenever I hear the name "Kardashian" mentioned. It's a family of nasty whores.

When OJ flew back from Chicago, arrangements were made for one of his bags to be flown back on the flight prior to his. Wonder who picked that up and what happened to it? AC, what do you know about it??

I don't remember the day of the murder. I do remember the day of the bronco chase. It was my 17th birthday, me and my friends were high as all get out and watching TV, and all I could think was, all I want for my birthday is for this to end in a hail of bullets. I was sadly disappointed that night and we all went back to smoking weed.

I had just finished undergrad and was living at home with my parents before I moved to start grad school. I vaguely remember hearing about the murders, but I definitely remember my mom hollering from her room that OJ was on the run. I thought she was nuts, ended up standing in her room gawking at the tv and thinking if he were innocent, why was he running?

The day of the verdict, I was living in Greensboro and Had been at my internship. When I left, I noticed that the streets seemed as quiet as a weekend. I turned on the radio just in time to hear the verdict. I was shocked but not, you know? I will always remember the look on Robert Kardashian's face-he knew OJ was guilty.

I also remember where I was the night Princess Diana died. I was just out of grad school and living back with my parents AGAIN, and this time my mom woke me up to tell me the news. No tv in my room, so once again, I was standing at the foot of her bed, gawking at the tv.

Warecat, I'm pretty sure I saw a movie once where OJ played someone who killed someone with a piano wire. Or someone else did, but he was in the movie. I don't remember enough about it. Channel surfing during a blizzard.

Anyway, back to real life, I remember when the bodies were found and he was out of town at the time, so he didn't seem like he could be the suspect. I was surprised when they questioned him. I remember the car chase, and by then it was clear he'd done it, bloody socks inside his house, all that. From time to time I still meet people who think he's framed. (No one I talk to thinks Casey Anthony was framed.) I wish the police had done a better job so that key evidence would not have been surpressed. I was so angry that he was out playing golf and riding his speedboat through manatee waters and STILL RICH and still surrounded by fans. So it's good he's finally where he belongs, but, seriously, jail for a fight over souvenirs and not jail for violent deaths?

I also remember how much the tabloids slandered Nichole Brown Simpson after the murder. "Lesbian hot-tub affairs!" "Cocaine use! The drugs! The fights!" "She was 'crazy'!" I couldn't remember seeing the VICTIM of a crime get such bad press before. They played her prior 911 calls with him screaming and ranting in the background, and yet, she always came off as the unbalanced one. I was appalled. Her sister made the rounds trying to shed light on domestic abuse and people treated her like an annoyance, like someone trying to get famous off her sister's death. A lot of media for many months seemed skewed in OJ's favor, even after all the bloody clothes had been found inside his house! Norm MacDonald got fired for insinuating too much on Weekend Update that OJ was guilty; too many people in high places cover for their friends, even when their friends are scum.
